Please don't copy my work for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, without prior permission. That would make it difficult for me to realize my dream—and get you into serious copyright problems.

I am, however, usually very happy to give literacy organizations (such as libraries, schools, newspapers, Literacy Volunteers of America) and independent bookstores permission to use the reviews on their websites. It's just a matter of asking nicely before you go ahead and do it.
